Many people prefer to change their hair style every now and then because it makes them feel good about themselves. They opt for hair extensions in Bondi because it feels perfect and liberating. However, in Tanzania, the government decided to impose taxes on wigs and hair extensions so that women will keep their hair natural.

When Tanzania Finance Minister Philip Mpango announced the tax on wigs and hair extensions in parliament, many MP’s applauded in approval. On the other hand, there is also public outrage because it seems that women are being punished for wanting to improve their appearance through wigs and hair extensions. While it is true that traditional values must be upheld, society is changing.

Mr. Mpango announced 25% tax on imported wigs and hair extensions and 10% tax on those that have been produced locally. The goal of the taxes is to increase government revenue. The cheapest wigs can be purchased for $4 but there are also wigs that sell for $130.

AnnasatasiaSigera, a well known importer of wigs in Tanzania asked why the government chose wigs to be taxed when there are so many products that should be taxed. Women love artificial hair. In fact, a woman who wants to remain anonymous told BBC that she spends $450 on hair extensions.

Women think that the tax is a punishment for trying to look good. Aristotle Mwamtobe who runs a popular hair salon said that the tax can affect relationships. Both local and imported wigs can become too expensive for their female customers. If women will cut their hair, it can lead to divorcés because men prefer their wives to have long hair. Women can really look good in wigs.

Meanwhile, taxes on chocolates, biscuits, imported coolers and other equipment that farmers use were also announced by the Finance Minister.

Women can get fuller and longer hair through hair extensions in Bondi that uses 100% human hair. There are natural-looking hair extensions with high quality and can be custom-made to create a right fit. When the hair is down, the hair extensions are completely undetectable. Those who want to enhance their looks for a party or a date can opt for the temporary hair extensions that can be removed easily.

There are many things to look forward to in terms of the courier industry. Aside from this, the electric vehicle market is also making a name for itself. When these two are put together, it raises many possibilities. This past year alone, many courier companies including SPH Transport Services are planning to add electric vehicles to their fleet.

These three-wheeled machines are manufactured locally in Australia. The manufacturer is a facility located in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. The electric vehicle is called the Stealth OzPOD and is currently being tested for a period of five weeks.

For this duration, the residents of Lilydale suburb will be able to see these three-wheeled machines around the neighborhood. According to Australia Post, their goal is to find out how the vehicle will operate when used in various terrains. The plan is for the electric vehicles to be added on the existing fleet of electric vehicles already in use by the courier.

Mitch Buxton, the general manager assigned for network optimization in Australia Post, said that they chose Lilydale because of its ideal location for the trial. The locals are known to shop frequently online and the area is where they deliver most of the small parcels in the past few months.

He explained that majority of the residents are shopping online for various products from media, health and beauty to fashion. The manufacturing of the Stealth OzPOD took 2.5 years before it reached trial phase. The design is specifically catered to the terrain and weather in Australia. It comes with a number of features such as surface measures, safety, gradient measures and stability.
